And who do you think is sitting in the very front of this hall? Well, I'll tell you. FNPS members.

You can bet they were there early and had their comment cards filled out. Front row, on the left, is Annie Schmidt, the Society's Conservation Chair , Daphne Lambright, Treasurer, Anne Cox, Chair of the Land Management Partners Committee, and to Anne's left, Katy Roberts, from the FNPS Pinellas Chapter.
